One of my main goals is to avoid reimplementing work which should (and is) 
done elsewhere.  It seems like i2c is a general system service, therefore 
we should select an appropriate interface and require it; perhaps 
encouraging or supporting the deployment of that interface on systems not 
yet doing so.  Replicating functionality available on most systems to 
avoid requiring it on all systems is a ridiculous waste of time.
